History
The ochre handprints and stencils at Red Hands Cave were painted around 500–1,600 years B.P.
The cave was first discovered by white Australians on 10 August 1913, when James (Jim) Colquhoun Dunn (1892-1978) went searching for Ruby Gladys Hunter (1892–1973), who became lost in the bush near Glenbrook while collecting wild flowers with her two dogs. Both were Glenbrook residents who were about 21 years old at the time. Ruby Hunter was later found and was able to return home.: 81
In the early 1930s, the Blue Mountains Shire Council installed a wire screen fence at the cave to protect it from vandalism.
